== Programming == * '''Jake Archibald''' - Javascript * As a human being, you're multithreaded. You can type with multiple fingers, you can drive and hold a conversation at the same time. The only blocking function we have to deal with is sneezing, where all current activity must be suspended for the duration of the sneeze. That's pretty annoying, especially when you're driving and trying to hold a conversation. You don't want to write code that's sneezy. |
Quotes
Linus Trovalds said:
- "this 'you have to be nice' seems to be very popular in the US," while "I'm just not a huge believer in politeness and sensitivity being preferable over bluntly letting people know your feelings."
- its only when you see a mosquito landing on your testicles that you're reallies that there is always a way to solve problems without using violence
- If you have no dreams and determination to make them work, someone will employ you to make theirs come true...
Warren Buffett writes:
- “I’ve observed that many acquisition-hungry managers were apparently mesmerised by their childhood reading of the story about the frog-kissing princess. Remembering her success, they pay dearly for the right to kiss corporate toads, expecting wondrous transfigurations.”
Buffett continues: “Initially, disappointing results only deepen their desire to round up new toads. Ultimately, even the most optimistic manager must face reality. Standing knee-deep in unresponsive toads, he then announces an enormous “restructuring” charge. The CEO receives the education, but the stockholders pay the tuition.” I’ll try to remember this story next time a takeover-hungry CEO crosses my path.
